Refusing to Marry into a Wealthy Family: The Young Madam’s 99 Escapes

To uncover the truth behind her father’s bankruptcy and suicide ten years ago, tenacious financial reporter Su Nuan disguises herself as a socialite and infiltrates an exclusive gala, setting her sights on Qi Jingshen, the powerful head of the Qi business empire. But a carefully staged “chance encounter” backfires when Qi Jingshen sees through her disguise. He forces her to sign a three-month contract to “pretend to be his fiancée,” making her the nominal “young madam of the Qi family.” The Qi family mansion is a gilded cage. A sharp-tongued future mother-in-law, predatory business rivals, scheming relatives, and Qi Jingshen’s inscrutable tests and advances leave Su Nuan walking on eggshells. As she navigates the whirlpool of the wealthy elite and deflects attacks from every side, she also uses her “young madam” status to investigate in secret. Each step closer to the truth brings grave danger, while her relationship with Qi Jingshen spirals out of control amid probing, suspicion, and an irresistible attraction. Su Nuan knows this is only a transaction, and she must guard her heart. So her “99-Escape Plan” quietly goes into action. From scaling walls and faking illness to slipping away amid the chaos of a banquet, recruiting the servants, causing a system malfunction, and even “kidnapping” herself, she tries every trick to escape this illusory dream of high society. Yet at every crucial moment, the cold yet devoted man catches her. When a long-buried conspiracy is exposed and the grievances between their fathers come to light, Qi Jingshen turns out to be the biggest surprise on her path to revenge. With a bitter family vendetta on one side and a consuming love on the other, where will Su Nuan’s “100th escape” lead? Will she leave the man who has brought her both pain and sweetness for good, or join hands with him to tear the darkness apart?
